CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only!
Next infant opening is anticipated in February and March 2025!
Welcome to Northwood Kiddie Cove, my licensed in-home daycare and preschool in Silver Spring, MD. Contact my daycare through CareLuLu to get your $25 registration fee waived!
About Me:
I’m the owner and main caregiver and I have 19 years of child care and early childhood education experience. I’m a mom of 2 with CPR & First-aid certifications. Before opening my own child care facility, I worked as an assistant for 11 years at another licensed daycare.
Finding the right fit for your little one can be challenging, especially for first-time parents. It can be stressful knowing that you will leave your child with someone you barely know. However, if you choose me, I will make sure to give your kids the needed attention and treat them as if they were my own. I want my daycare to be the extension of your family!
Curriculum:
Northwood Kiddie Cove follows the Play-based learning approach and uses an age-appropriate curriculum to help children develop their emotional, social, and intellectual skills. Our program offers a stimulating, nurturing, and active learning environment where children can learn and grow.
At our daycare, our little students participate in daily activities, such as circle time, story time, games, arts & crafts, math, reading, dancing, and music. In addition to English, I can teach your child the American Sign Language and Amharic.
Program:
My family child care and preschool program is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, Mondays to Fridays. I offer full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 6 months, as well as toddlers through preschoolers up to 5 years old. I can also accommodate occasional child care and provide drop-in care. Peanut and tree-nut free snacks are included in the tuition and served to all kids attending my program.
:Location:
Northwood Kiddie Cove is located in the Northwood Park neighborhood in Silver Spring, MD. My home is near Forest Knolls Elementary School and University Blvd W (route 193). I’m very accessible to all commuters since my daycare is also close to Colesville Rd (US-29) and Capital Beltway (I-495). Perfect for your daily commute to work!

The provider is incredibly warm, caring and kind. She has a big heart for children and it shows. Her beautiful house is full of love and light. She is knowledgeable, respectful and wise. She educates children and enhances their lives with the right amount of structured learning and free play. I have no qualms about my trust in her with my one and only child. I'm so grateful to her and the personalized devotion she gives to my baby.
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for your kind review, I really appreciate it.

The caregiver had the biggest impact on my daughter’s development in her time at her facility. It was where my daughter started to talk, feed herself, start reading, and have immensely increased her socialization skills with her age group. All of this was possible by her dedication in creating a fun and learning environment for the kids. The school itself was a great place to be in and my child as well as a number of her cousins were attending... more

We are so happy with this daycare program. She is a warm and loving caregiver, and her home is bright and clean. Our son and daughter both attended full time, and thrived during their time with her. They learned many words in sign language, how to count to 10 in two languages, and the lyrics of many children's songs. Both of our children have loved playing with their fellow students. We feel so lucky to have found her and her daycare!!

Overall, we have been having a great experience at this daycare. There are many wonderful things about this family daycare, such as the affordability, closeness of the families who go there and exposure to different cultures for kids. However, most importantly, we appreciate her, as the caregiver. She is not only a great and inspiring role model for the kids, but she also loves those kids dearly. And the love she gives is not just in verbal... more

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 3 months old. She suffered from severe reflux for many months so needless to say I was very nervous about putting my baby in daycare. But her patience and warmth put us at ease. My daughter is now 15 months and looks forward to going to this daycare everyday. She is so happy every morning at drop offs and that speaks to the caregiver's patience, care and love for the children she cares... more

She is warm and loving toward my 3 year old son. She provides safety, structure and has a great curriculum. She always has fun activities for them to do throughout the day. My son has been with her since he was 1 year old. He is a happy kid who enjoys going to daycare in the morning to play with friends.
